Dear Sir,

Look after the Old.

This argument about the cost of looking after old people defies belief.

We can afford billions of pounds on wars - one illegal, one unwinnable - £50 million a day to the European Union, £12 billion a year on overseas aid, but, we can1`t afford to look after our old people who have paid into the system all their lives.

The politicians should be ashamed of themselves.....if that`s possible!
